German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep.
Since that time, however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including search-and-rescue, police and military roles and even acting.
German Shepherds are the second most popular dog in the United States of America.
German Shepherds were bred specifically for their intelligence, a trait for which they are now famous.
Coupled with their strength, this trait makes the breed desirable as police, guard and search and rescue dogs, as they are able to quickly learn various tasks and interpret instructions better than other large breeds.
